((My camera is seriously horrible... I don't know if it's dying or what. But please bear with the fuzzy pictures <3))

Image
Vincent: *is packing his clothes, getting ready to head back to the city.. and work* I think that's everything..

Image
V: *looks over his clothes, thinking about how much he really doesn't want to go back to work* I'm missing my tie.. it was just here.

Image
Eden: *appears in the doorway* Hey V... how's it going? I... need to talk to you. Is it okay if I come in?

Image
V: *looks up at her and nods his head* Sure Eden... what's going on?

Image
Eden: *sits in V's desk chair, making herself comfortable* Uhh.. you might want to sit down. We need to have a serious talk... about Cora.

Image
V: Is... is everything alright...? *moving to sit down upon his bed*

Image
Eden: Not exactly. Cora is pregnant... everyone has reacted very badly. Especially Locke.

Image
V: *lowers his head a bit* She's... she's pregnant...

Image
Eden: Yeah... and only god know who the father is... you know how Cora has been...

Image
V: So this is why she's been... avoiding me..

Image
Eden: That's what I'll wager... uhmm.. *bluntly* so there's no way you could be the father could you?

Image
V: What?... No... no there's no way...

Image
Eden: She sleeps in your room nearly every single night... It's not like you would be taking advantage of her... she loves you.. she wants you.. bad.

Image
V picks up his pj bottoms, takign them out of his bag~ I know she does....she told me....we talked about it....but just because she sleeps in my room doesnt mean anythings happening...which it isnt..

Image
V: I'm not going to talk to you about this Eden..

Image
Eden: It would make Cora happy if you were... and I know it's wishful thinking... but you are SURE that you are sure?"

Image
V: *irritatedly* Of course I'm sure... Eden... I'm a virgin...

Image
Eden: *looks like she was smacked with a brick* You are what!? 28?! God people living in this house really do have some effed up problems..

A LITTLE WHILE LATER...

Image
Cora: *thinking to herself* Just keep walking... don't look up... hurry past...

Image
Cora: *begins to hurry past V in the hallway, not looking at him and trying to pass him by*

Image
V: *reaches out, touching the wall, blocking her from hurrying past him* Cora...

Image
V: Why have you been avoiding me?

Image
Cora: *looks down* Leave me alone..

Image
V: *puts his fingers under her chin, gently lifting her chin to make her look at him*

Image
V: You said you didn't want anything to change between us...

Image
Cora: *looks a little surprised and starts to turn red* I... I don't want things to change...
V: then tell me whats going on...

Image
Cora: *is lost for words for a second, as she tries to figure out a way to escape this conversation that's she's been dreading for days*

Image
Cora: *starts to cry and wraps her arms around V, sobbing into his chest* I'm so scared!!

Image
V: *wraps his arms around her* about what? *wanting her to tell him herself*
Cora: *still sobbing* About my baby...

Image
V: Let's move this conversation out of the hallway, okay?

A LITTLE WHILE LATER...

Image
Cora: *sniffling as she lays in V's lap* and.. and what if it comes out a zombie... or dead...

Image
Cora: I was so stupid... so stupid..
V: *pets Coras hair, his fingers running through it as he tries to comfort her*

Image
V: Cora...you arent stupid....you just....werent better prepared...but you will get through this...

Image
Cora: *starts to get up* It's not that I don't my baby... I want her... I love her...

Image
Cora *looks at her hand* I... just wish it had... happened under happier circumstances....
V: *changes the subject* You want a little girl? *smiles*

Image
Cora: *smiles too* I don't want... I just know it's a little girl.. I don't know how but I do... don't you think a little girl would be fun?

Image
V: Well boys are fun too.. Dmitri is a good baby... well... except when he crawled over in puked in my shoe and Eden convienently forgot to tell me...

Image
V: *puts his arm around Cora, pulling her close to him again* Boy or girl.. I think you will make a great mother.
Cora: *giggles and blushes* Thanks.

Image
Cora: Well.. now that you know.. Luis is the only one left I haven't told. I wonder where he's been..
V: I ate him...
Cora: What?!
V: *chuckles* I'm just kidding.

Image
V: I sent him to talk to the publishers... I'm not making any more excuses for him. He did leave you a note. *pulls it off his desk and holds it so she can read it*
Cora: *looks a little disappointed that Luis is gone* Oh..

Image
Cora: *reads the note outloud* Dear Cora... please forgive me for my cowardice. I heard that you were with child and I asked V to send me into town. I am not good with dealing with this kind of big news... I congratulate you. I will be back once I get my wits back together and take care of business. I hope you are not too angry with me... please forgive me. - Luis

Image
Cora: Oh Luis... I do forgive you... I would have ran away too... I feel very sad, but I'm not angry...

Image
V: *quietly, more to himself then anyone else* I can think of a few people who really are....
